WHILE BATTLING THE FLU, SERENA WILLIAMS DOMINATES AND WINS HER 20TH GRAND SLAM IN PARIS

French Open champion Serena Williams secured the 20th Grand Slam title of her glittering career. “I can’t believe I won,” she said. “It makes this trophy really special. I really wanted it. I wanted to win so bad and I just felt like I had every opportunity in this match, so being down a set in the second, third, fourth round, semi-finals, wasn’t very easy. I probably topped my most difficult time to win.”

Williams had been struggling with flu in the build-up to the final and confessed she “didn’t have any energy left” after beating the Czech 13th seed.
